interview to-day with the Controller Of
tho Admiralty regarding the dock yard

lister Phelps, confirmed these statements
Of ths Controller and emphstically denied

The agent OF the Associated Press in
London has been authorized to deny that
the American Legation was in any way

said at the Navy Department that 30 far

Captain Hickborne published a work

information furnished to him in conf.

ouently the author explained the facts
satisfactorily, but it is possible that the
discharge oithe foreman just reported Is a

HARRISBURG, Pa, March 9.-The Re-

tcts all Of the districts should be made

s'es,lonal districts in accordance with

ci:es Of the scheme have great confidence

house, and Speaker Boyer is reported to
have sald that in the event OF 8 Disagree
1snt with the Senate he would appoint q
Conference Committee that would stand
ssalnst Randall till the end Of the session
n!her than give up. There are two diff.
elIt!es in the way. One is that the Sem

et!s decidedly in favor OF giving Randall
sls old district and his long experience 40
senator, and his influence gainedby years
Of successful party leadership, count for d
s9oa many votes in the upper House.
The other is, that making Randall'o dis.
met Republican, would reduce the Re-
publican msjorities in tho other Philadel-
sa9 san. districts to an average OF between
